Here's one of the amazing comments to the video, by @kennyahs8995 1 year ago:
"My great great grandmother was born in 1911 February, soon to be 113, outlived 4 monarchs, World War I and World War II. She outlived her 2 daughters, both died of old age in 2019 at 90 and the other at 87 (her third daughter, my great grandmother is still living at 89) lived to see 10 Popes in her lifetime, lived to see 20 US presidents, born when Taft was in office, she had 4 siblings and they all passed away, her last sibling passed away in 2012 at 96 and her husband (my great great grandpa) died in 2001 at 93. She has been through so much.
"My family is known for longevity; maybe there is something in our genes. I was born in 1996 and in my lifetime I saw and talked to 8 members of my family who were over 100 years old. My 4th great grandmother was born in 1851 and died in 1956."
There are many interesting comments. Here's another one, by @cinilaknedalm 13 years ago:
"This reminds me of the war we had in former Yugoslavia. Before the war, religion was never a reason for violence. My family was Ortodox Christian and when it was Christmas our friends from Bosnia would come round our house to party and when it was Ramadan we would do the same at theirs. The violence only happens when the ones in power are corrupt enough to put paranoia into people below them."

Modern day Palestinians could travel back to the late 1800s and fit right in. Same with Orthodox Jews, although modern Jews don't speak Arabic — they speak Hebrew and English.
